The project appears to be a water monitoring technology (possibly named 'FrostKeeper') associated with Aqualitas Inc., a verified Canadian aquaponic cannabis producer with a ~$75M market cap. While the parent company is established and the described technology (AI/ML for sensor calibration) has high utility in aquaponics, the submission itself suffers from significant credibility issues. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone' are demonstrably false. The score balances the legitimate industrial backing and technical potential against the low-quality, exaggerated submission data.

Description
AQUALITAS strives to enable water system operators and users to make informed operational decisions based on reliable data. Through a deep understanding of the water chemistry and sensory principles, the AQUALITAS team developed advanced ML and AI models that monitor the operational stability of the sensors on a proprietary water quality monitoring platform and perform automatic calibration without human interaction or cleaning. The real-time water quality data collected by our IoT system is analyzed on a SaaS platform and can be translated into actionable insights by operators, resulting in lower costs and improved efficiency and performance. Monitoring provided as a service, without initial investment in equipment, allows customers to grow their monitoring capabilities along with their needs. Our disruptive technology eliminates the guesswork involved in operating real-time water quality sensors. With the flexible pricing model, both large and small operators can now take advantage of real-time water quality monitoring.
